How to use Product Production.
Product Production connects the business side of the 3D print farm: product kits, build sheets, production runs, pricing, labels, and inventory.
How the sections work together
Each section has its own workspace, but they share the same product record so information does not have to be entered again and again.
Product Kits
Create the product record with printed parts, hardware, packaging, labels, material notes, and supplier links.
Build Sheets
Turn the product kit into operator instructions with parts, quantities, assembly steps, QC checks, and printable packets.
Production Runs
Choose a product and quantity, review needed parts, create print work, check shortages, and save run history.
Pricing Calculator
Use material, hardware, packaging, labor, machine time, fees, and margin to estimate selling price.
Recommended production flow
Use this path when creating a product that will be made more than once.
Create the product kit
Add product name, printed parts, purchased hardware, packaging items, label needs, supplier links, and default notes.
Write the build sheet
Add clear instructions, required quantities, tools, QC notes, packaging steps, and any important operator reminders.
Run the production batch
Select the product, enter the quantity, review shortages, create needed print work, and track the run to completion.
Calculate pricing
Use real material, hardware, packaging, labor, machine time, and fee inputs to estimate retail and wholesale pricing.
Print labels and update inventory
Use labels for bins, product kits, parts, shop inventory, and restock cards so the item can be scanned later.
When to use Product Production
Use it for repeatable products. For one-off prints, the normal Queue and Print Files sections may be enough.
